Visualize data from a SmartThings sensor with Dweet and Freeboard

My SmartThings multisensor is a great little piece of technology. It reports, in real time, motion, temperature, and open/close state of my back door. The iOS app is slick, too, but I wanted a way to view it from my computer and have access to historical data.
Enter Dweet and Freeboard from Buglabs.

The SmartThings SmartApp and Dweet

There's actually no setup required on Dweet (but be sure to check out their nifty demo). It just starts eating data and making it available for use via HTTP/JSON!

# looks up a set(s) of hashes in redis given the set name as a string
# and redis stores the ids of the sets members and hashes are stored at their id

example redis data structure:

users => ['1','2','3'] // all ids of all user objects
users:2 => {'name':'Bob'} // a redis hash of the user with id == 2
